The Technomancer

Measured in The Technomancer, the pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT produces a manageable spread of frame rates across resolutions and presets. Across twelve measured settings, the average FPS ranges from 179 (1080p Low) to 33 (4K Ultra). The CPU ranks in the 81st percentile of all processors and the GPU in the 71st percentile of all graphics cards, placing the combined system at rank 1,698 out of 3,696 tested combinations. That mid-field placement shows a platform that can handle the game at high refresh 1080p and 1440p, but the graphics card becomes the limiting factor at 4K. This analysis walks through the relevant hardware data, scaling behavior, and recommended presets.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6750 XT carries 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s. In the context of a 2016-era action RPG like The Technomancer, that memory pool is more than adequate—the game reads a 5 GB VRAM footprint at most, and the 6750 XT's 12 GB is far from being a constraint. The effective memory clock of 2250 MHz with an 18 Gbps effective rate further widens the memory headroom, though the thread is never likely to touch it in this title.

The GPU's pixel rate is 166.4 GPixel/s and texture rate is 416.0 GTexel/s, which translate directly to the frame delivery at higher resolutions. Looking at the measured FPS, the GPU clearly handles the heavier load at 1440p and 4K. At 4K Ultra the average drops to 33 FPS, while at 1080p Large the average sits at 92 FPS. This range shows that the bottleneck shifts from the GPU at 1080p to the GPU being decisive at 4K. The data suggests that the graphics card is capable of pushing between 33 and 179 FPS depending on resolution and preset, but the CPU environment such as a 3.8 GHz base clock is not the same. Even the Ultra preset at 1080p does not meaningfully exceed the GPU's processing power, because the average FPS of 92 marks a large delta from 4K Ultra at 33.

The GPU's raw compute capacity of 13.31 TFLOPS and 2,560 shading units are more than enough for titles from this release period. The 12 GB VRAM is a fit that yields consistent frame pacing across the three resolutions tested; the smallest deviation is 64 FPS (4K Low) versus 179 FPS at 1080p Low, indicating the card scales in a predictable way when the load lightens.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its Zen 3 design and 32 MB of L3 cache yield the highest single-core and 8-thread benchmarks among the CPUs tested in this database. For instance, in Cinebench R23 the multicore score is 15,476 and the single-core score is 1,574.5. In 3DMark, the 2-thread score reaches 1,846, the 8-thread score 5,035, which corresponds to the game's ability to use more than 8 threads.

In The Technomancer, the CPU's influence is most evident at 1080p and Low settings. At 1080p, the average frame jumps from 117 (High) to 179 (Low). That 62 FPS increase when cutting to a lower preset isn't GPU-mediated; it's the CPU being pulled back from lethargy. When the graphics load is heavy at 4K, the CPU has more headroom than needed—the CPU that can hold 16 threads at 4.2 GHz gets ample idle time, and the GPU saturates before the Ryzen 7 5800X does.

The 5800X's 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient for this game's engine, which was built around the consoles of 2013–2016. The strong single-core throughput (3DMark single 943, Geekbench single 2,032) means the game's main thread rarely becomes a bottleneck; the 1080p Low FPS of 179 demonstrates that CPU still has muscle to spare. At 1080p Ultra, the average falls to 92, showing that the decrease is almost entirely due to GPU load, not the CPU. So the CPU role here is to sustain high frame   at low and medium resolutions, while the GPU picks up the slack as the resolution rises. Its 32 MB L3 cache is welcome, but this title's optimization doesn't need more than about 8 threads, so the Ryzen 7’s 16-thread capability is largely starved.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database's ranking, the Ryzen 7 5800X + RX 6750 XT pairing lands at 1,698th out of 3,698 tested combinations. That places it toward the middle of the table—above the median but not near the top. The CPU's global ranking of 81st percentile means it is comfortably in the upper quarter, while the GPU is in the 71st percentile. The disparity suggests that the processor is a stronger part than the card, which is consistent with the CPU-heavy scenario at 1080p.

Comparing the exact average scores: the CPU's average benchmark score of 29,123 is 0.4% higher than the Intel Xeon Phi 7210 and well ahead of the Intel Core i5-13500HX (delta 0.5% behind). For the GPU, the RX 6750 XT's average benchmark score of 26,011, and its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon R9 M395X with a delta of 0.5%. That places the GPU at about the same performance tier as the last-gen mobile 3080 Ti, at delta 1.1%.

What the ranking numbers imply is that this combo is a strongly balanced mid-range solution: it's not competitive with the top CPUs/GPUs that can run 4K High and Ultra at 60 FPS, but it delivers solid frame rates in the exact opposite where the game avoids resolution scaling. Since the combo rank is 45% (1,698 of 3,698) only a handful of tested builds come in above average, the data shows the system outperforms nearly half of the field for this specific title.

Resolution Scaling

Analyzing the frame‑rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how much the GPU becomes the limiter. Consider the High preset: the average falls from 117 FPS at 1080p to 77 FPS at 1440p and then to 42 FPS at 4K. The drop ratio is append, but a more telling comparison is the Low setting, where the average goes from 179 (1080) → 117 (1440p) → 64 (4K). While the 1080p Low achieves a GPU‑bound rate of 179, it's far beyond the 1440p and 4K marks, which indicates that beyond 1080p, the GPU is doing far more work per frame.

Another note: the Ultra preset at 1440p hits an average of exactly 33 FPS at 4K and 92 FPS at 1080p. The scaling is nearly linear in the use of the hard side—when resolution increases by about 185% from 1080p to 4K, the frame rate halves. This pattern indicates that the color number of samples per frame is directly proportional to the GPU compute resources consumed, while the CPU treats it in the background. In contrast, within 1080p presets, the differences between Low and Ultra range from 179 to 92 (a ~87% drop) — this is a GPU-centric scaling as well, since the CPU can manage all those presets without fail.

Thus, the limiting component at 1440p and 4K is clearly the Radeon RX 6750 XT. Its pixel throughput and memory bandwidth just can't keep up beyond 1440p. Meanwhile at 1080p, the CPU 8-core is strong enough to prevent a drop in FPS below 179 even at Low settings, meaning the GPU also meets the low resolution. The final take is: at 1080p the system has enough both CPU and GPU to go high; from 1440p upward, the GPU is the obstacle.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Here are all the recorded frame averages, along with minimum and maximum where they were reported:

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|------------|----------|-------------|---------|---------|

| 1920×1080 | Low | 179 | — | — |

| 1920×1080 | Medium | 138 | 117 | 158 |

| 1920×1080 | High | 117 | — | — |

| 1920×1080 | Ultra | 92 | — | — |

| 2560×1440 | Low | 117 | — | — |

| 2560×1440 | Medium | 90 | 76 | 103 |

| 2560×1440 | High | 77 | — | — |

| 2560×1440 | Ultra | 60 | — | — |

| 3840×2160 | Low | 64 | — | — |

| 3840×2160 | Medium | 49 | 42 | 57 |

| 3840×2160 | High | 42 | — | — |

| 3840×2160 | Ultra | 33 | — | — |

At 1080p, the single highest recorded minimum is 117 FPS (Medium), and the max peaks at 138 for Medium. That gives the range a rhythm for 1440p: the same preset values scale without any absurd jumps. Medium at 1440p hits 90 average with a day across 76–103, which is the most stable 1440p dash of the chart. Meanwhile, Ultra at 1440p averages exactly 60, equal to the minimum 90? No, 60 average means that half of the frames exceed that mark, but the min is 42.

With 4K, the numbers drop to 33–64 depending preset. The 4K Low can reach similar speed to 1080p Medium? Actually not: 1080p Medium 138 FPS, while 4K Low is 64. Overall the table gives a clear view of the ceiling effect: every step up in resolution costs roughly ⅓ of the frame rate, but the Ultra preset is much stricter.

Settings Recommendations

The measurements dictate three distinct usage scenarios.

1080p (not including cleared 60 FPS): Ultra preset averages 92 FPS, which exceeds 60 Hz displays and even 90–100Hz showcases. Medium and High go at 117–138, but these are beyond what any 60Hz panel needs. So if you have a 1080p 60Hz monitor, select High—the image is improved by settings while holding well above refresh. If you have a 144Hz panel, Medium at 1080p (average 138 FPS) is the best to avoid dropping below 117 FPS only.

1440p: For 60Hz displays, the right balance is High at 77 FPS average, which is comfortably above the 60Hz threshold while delivering the High preset's visual quality. If you prefer to push further, Medium gives 90 average and sits inside the frame time of a 1440 120Hz panels (90 > 120?), but it does not meet 120 FPS. Ultra at 1440p produces an average of exactly 60 FPS—perfectly useable for 60Hz users, but not so for High refresh. So for a 1440p 60Hz, choose Ultra; for a 1440
